gil and i would always have to spend a day in his office, not to do taxes, but recall many memories during the days and months that we didn't see each other. He would always talk of marita, jeff, kevin, and especially AMY and always had something funny to say that would bring a smile to my face. I miss this man and think of him as one in a million. it is the 15th of may,2021. i just found out from a friend about the sadness.

I was very sorry to hear about Gil's passing. Gil was my accountant for many years. He was always very helpful especially when my husband passed away 23 years ago. My husband always took care of our taxes so I was at a loss when he died. My prayers and condolences go out to you and your family.

Dear Marita and Family,
Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of Gil. Working for Gil back in the 1980's was my first job in public accounting. He was a kind person and a respected professional. Many tax seasons later, I still think of Gil and will always be grateful to him, not only for all he taught me, but also for giving me a chance. May he rest in peace.

I was a student in college working for a company in East Providence as a bookkeeper. Mr Devine was their CPA and he worked hand in hand with me on a weekly basis. He was a great teacher and a kind and gentle man. That was almost 40 years ago. He touched my life in a way that lasted my lifetime. Today I too am a CPA partly because of his guidance. Rest in peace my friend.

Our Uncle Gib was loved by his family and extended family so much!
He will be greatly missed by all. Uncle Gib always made our family reunions a lot of fun. He was just a "big kid" always ready to join in the fun activities with the kids. We will hold our fond memories of Uncle Gib close in our hearts and we look forward to being together again one day in heaven with our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Our hearts go out to Aunt Marita and all the family members. I am sorry due to COVID 19 we will not be able to attend his services. Please know we are sending lots of LOVE your way/ XOXO George, Katie, Emma & Patty.
